Alright, finished S2. S3 (2020) predictions.

Williams stops winning
All the young guys stop crashing into their teammates (but start crashing into the enemy)
As this is supposedly the last year to throw money at everything, all the big teams will dominate by throwing even more money at things.
Haas breaks into the top 3
Williams...lol, nah
There's at least one race where it's Red Bull Red Bull Red Bull Red Bull at the finish.

Don’t try and make these types of predictions from DTS. They literally only show like, 1/4 of the drama within a season because they only have so much footage that they need to make work in the context of their stories. You’re going to miss so much of moves teams actually make other than the like, 4 drivers that they show doing some contract move to another team.

Also like, they make teammates look like they hate each other perpetually. Some do, but there’s a scene with two Mclaren drivers in 2021 where in DTS Lando says “HE PUSHED ME OFF” and it’s edited to look like the two teammates came together.

This is just an outright lie, he didn’t say that about his teammate nor did they push each other there.

I think you'll find the last Good Year was in 1998, after that Bridgstone took over as the sole supplier.

Also Mika Hakkinen won his first World Championship.

I want to get into the current season so I dont know if I can take a break and do a whole older f1 season.

Don't worry, since this is F1, you'll be incredibly, aggresively bored out of your mind very soon watching it. I'd say like in two races max. Like not slightly bored, but a race will come along that hits you harder than any long covid could, that just right out sucks even the last bit of energy to stay awake out of your body, floors you right then and there, makes you truly understand what "the lights go out" really means, and when you think you can finally fall asleep, will go even one step further and put you into a nearly comatose state that would make normal, non-F1 watching people call the ambulance or depending on if they like you or not the undertaker right away. After this happened, it'll happen about ten to eightteen times more this season until the wrong guy wins WDC.

That's the moments you can watch the 2021 season, inception-style. Just remember to instruct someone to bump you back to fully awake state.

We are living in a world where smart home devices exist,so I'm sure there is a way to make the TV switch to MotoGP when a device notices you getting close to the dreaded lap five nap. It'll bring you right back to the edge of your seat, and you can switch back to F1 after the way shorter race to catch the end of the 30 min safety car phase triggered by light rain twenty kilometres away from the track.

e: then again with Nando actually beeing in the mix at the front, I assume we might get a rather not-boring season, fingers crossed.

Some of my most memorably satisfying naps have been waking up after an hour because my brain managed to parse that the TV was yelling about a safety car after 40 laps of nothingness.

i remember when all this was fields
I don't really drink Monday-Saturday, but bring either a case of Holsten Pils or a bottle of something themed (i.e. tequila for Mexican GP) to my friends house for grands prix. We tend to crack a can open for the race start, and if nothing has happened in the first 5 laps or so, start drinking in earnest.

That way you have a fun 'chill session' and 'bants' with a friend with F1 in the background, punctuated occasionally with things like "Oh poo poo, Leclerc went into the gravel! Oh no wait that's Sainz. Wait no, Crofty's saying it is Leclerc. No wait, Crofty was just wrong, it is Sainz."

There’s only been two races and I can remember things from them, it can’t be that bad:
1) when Max was on a screaming quali lap but ran into the wall on the last corner
2) when Max made Hamilton run into him

I have a dumb question. Why do the names of the constructors change so much? For example I saw someone mention Audi and I was thinking to myself Audi doesn’t have a team that I know of. Then I saw they will be replacing Alfa.


Is this branding, or the manufacturer supplying the parts?

When Andretti gets in his team will be called something like Jimmy johns freaky fast Andretti GMC I’m lovin it
